What fails its inspection
Great Britain's MOT record for the 2022 2.0 diesel. 11 of 116 tests failed, 9%.
Better than 0% of 2022 cars. The typical one fails 3%, across 56 models with enough tests behind them to say.
| Where | Share of failures | Failed tests |
|---|---|---|
| Tyres and wheels | 64% | 7 |
| Brakes | 45% | 5 |
| Seat belts and airbags | 36% | 4 |
| Exhaust and emissions | 18% | 2 |
| Visibility | 9% | 1 |
The defects inspectors cite
- Tyre tread depth not in accordance with the requirements
- Brake lining or pad worn down to wear indicator
- An SRS malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) indicates a system malfunction
- Engine MIL illuminated indicating a malfunction
- A brake lining or pad worn below 1.5mm
- A tyre cords visible or damaged
Where it stands out against its peers
- Brakes: failed more often than 94% of 2022 cars — 45% of its 11 failed tests, where an ordinary 2022 car has 10%.
Same model year only, at least 30 peer cars, zeros included. Every car has a worst part; this shows which, and how far from ordinary it is. A high share means more to check, not a verdict.
NHTSA's investigations are American; no European regulator publishes an equivalent record, so this section has nothing to draw on for a European car. There is no European equivalent of the service-bulletin register either.
